You have just ALWAYS had the best stuff your whole life, haven't you, Tony?
I remember reading through the RS catalog every year (I LOVED that catalog)
and just LUSTING after the Mach One's. Younger people may not understand
that this was before subwoofers became popular (or even available for that
matter) and so, to me, the Mach One's were the most KICK ASS SPEAKERS YOU
COULD BUY FOR BASS!!!
As I said in my previous post, as a DJ in junior high, I had access to those
speakers (and the large power-amp and mixer we used). After school, my
friends and I would set up the system in a class room and just BLAST our
favorite tunes (the system was LOUD in a gymnasium, it was DEAFENING in a
classroom). It was one of those times that I discovered that some types of
music (Kraftwerk in particular and the song "I Feel Love" by Donna Summers
come to mind) had this VERY low bass that could be felt througout your
entire body if loud enough. It was THEN AND THERE that my love of bass
began. And it was the Mach One's that took me there.
Later in High School, I got my hands on an old Ampeg bass guitar amplifier
(with two 15" woofers) and tube power-amp head that I hooked up to my system
in my bedroom (as a kind of subwoofer), and I FINALLY had what I had been
craving for years. MEGA BASS!!!! My neighbors were not as happy as I was
about this.
